110 Raats Cabernet Franc 2009 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R5 000 – 7 000 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES Raats Family Wines was established by the brothers Jasper and Bruwer Raats. Now under the sole guidance of Bruwer, his single- minded focus on Cabernet Franc has made Raats the NewWorld benchmark for the variety. From the majestic 2009 vintage, this wine is pure class. ‘Tobacco leaf & black cherry, handsome 2009 has an intriguing baked earth note & mineral finish adding to its attraction, individuality. Built for a distinguished 8+ year future, youthful tannins are accessible but firm, will integrate over time.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5 stars
